Pile Of Turquoise

This is what 3/4 of a pound of turquoise looks like. I have about $200 worth of various types and localities of turquoise here. That cost is so high because I bought most of this by the piece, while some of it I did get by weight. Several of these are cuts from slabs as pre-forms for cabochons I plan on making. Most of this is American south-west, with some Chinese in there as well.
